Large Pastel Pride Notebooks

These large books close securely with riveted metal buttons, and they show off the pastel rainbow through their spines. This is the first time I've made large Pride books with my current favorite paper for this size of book, a 64gsm stock from Japan that is thin, opaque, stiff, and very very smooth. It reminds me of what I wish Tomoe River paper was. You can use the backs of your pages, and the ink dries in about the same time that it does on "regular" paper. Bound directly to the Kraft-Tex covers, these books are flexible, open white, and will keep your drawings and writing safe, while showing off some subtle Pride action.

Please read on for some history of this binding method, as well as details about your particular book.

Dating at least as far back as the late Medieval period, this "stationery" binding was developed to be simple, durable, and portable. Combined with modern materials, you have a journal that will *not* bust, that shows off its non-adhesive binding, and that opens wide for you right from the start.
